Momo spots a trail of pale dusty boot-prints on the clubroom floor and declares that an intruder is circling the Tiny Case Agency. She follows the tracks around the room, magnifying glass out — and each lap she is certain there are MORE of them, a whole gang closing the ring. Ganta tells her on page five that they are her own boots. She hushes him and keeps circling, adding fresh prints with every step, until the trail loops right back to the two little boots on her own feet. Unable to admit she spent the afternoon chasing herself, Momo declares she surrounded the gang and drove them off, closes the case, and falls asleep inside the ring of prints. Ganta delivers the verdict once she is out: she walked in a circle.

Page 1. A wide establishing panel of the Tiny Case Agency clubroom — a low wooden desk with the chipped pencil mug, a stack of cardboard boxes, a blank corkboard, a small white mini-fridge, a folding metal chair and a single square window with warm low afternoon sun. Momo, in her too-big mustard-yellow trench coat and dusty-red scarf, crouches near the floorboards and points at a short curving line of pale dusty boot-prints. Ganta sits on the boxes with his pale-blue juice box, and Biscuit is curled asleep in her open cardboard box. MOMO: 'A footprint. We are not alone.'

Page 2. A low-angle panel looking up at Momo for maximum tiny drama. She holds her oversized magnifying glass upright in one hand and flings the other arm out to point, her coat flaring behind her like a cape, chin lifted as the theory snaps into place. Pale dusty boot-prints curve across the floorboards around her own boots. MOMO: 'An intruder. Circling us.'

Page 3. A silent still-life. A close view down the warm honey-brown floorboards in low afternoon light: a trail of identical pale dusty boot-sole prints, laid nose-to-heel in a walking stride, curves round in a wide arc and quietly begins to close back on itself into a loop, passing right beside Biscuit's open cardboard box. A few dust motes drift in the sunbeam. The answer — one loop of one boot — sits in plain sight. No dialogue.
